I have been with my boyfriend for 5 and 1/2 years together, we have a beautiful daughter that i had given birth to 8 months ago and my 13 year old son. He has another child from another woman that he keeps in contact with(he says he talks to his son whom is now 6 years of age). Since we have been in this relationship for a very long time, i had asked him a couple of times if we were both going to get married. The first time i asked him(that was a couple of months back), he replied that he's not sure and that he didn't want to get married. Yesterday i asked him again, if he wanted to marry me, and his reply was no! that he didn't want to get married. You know how hurt i felt, i didn't show it to him but i just felt crushed. I mean, he works hard at his 2 jobs and i stay home with the kids because baby is still young and plus i had a seizure a week after i gave birth to my daughter, so we both had to make ends meet. I love him very much and i don't know what else to do.

I've been having strong braxton hicks contractions but doctors still tell me that i haven't dilated yet. I am not rushing to go into labor now but just curious as to why i can't dilate faster.

I have confirmation today that i am pregnant, they couldn't tell me for sure how many weeks or month i am but they used this calendar thing that just told them from the last day of menstrual to todays date. I am very happy because i wanted my baby and so did my boyfriend.

Just want to say "Thank you" to those that responded back to my questions of whether or not i could be pregnant and other things. I know we don't know all the answers to everything but even the little things matter in life. Thank you all again for your responses and feel free to contact me if you want to chat.

Just a couple of days ago I took 2 epts tests that tested positive, went to the doctors office and it tested negative on their tests. Now i took 2 other ept tests at home yesterday which was the 27th and it came out positive. I am confused but anxious. Just wondering if anyone had ever come across this type of situation. I mean, I had my period this month starting on Dec. 3rd, 2008 and had intercourse on the 14th. My periods is always regular and i am on a 28 day schedule, which means i should start my next period on the 31st of December. What do you think? Could I be pregnant? I already had 4 positive ept tests at home, and 1 negative test from the doctors which I took later in the day at the doctors. Can someone help me with this because it's just so fustrating and it would help alot to ease my impatience.

I had my last menstrual on 12/03/08 and had intercourse on 12/14/08, i am on a 28 day cycle and my periods are regular, it only last for 4 days or so but pretty much not too heavy this month. I have been bloated and when i get up in the morning my stomach is still popped out. I mean i have 4 kids already, but this is really strange for me, I guess because I am 37 years old and my fertility level is possibly low. I just need advice if whether i am accurately pregnant since i took the equate Etp test. I had to take it 2 times to be sure, it showed positive, it took up to 10 minutes or less to show the positive sign. After 2 hours, the - sign started to fade slowly along with the other line. I just want to be sure.
